Boston ICE Tea Party [View all]

"Bostonians have always refused to bow down and have been a voice for the nation."

In 1773, colonists threw tea in Boston harbor to protest unfair taxation, but on the 252nd anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, Bostonians threw ice in opposition to the ICE “terror campaign.”

Hosted by the activist groups Boston Indivisible and Mass 50501, protesters gathered at the Irish Famine Memorial Plaza — just steps from the original tea party starting point at the Old South Meeting House — on Tuesday, according to the activist groups.


Holding “No Kings” and anti-ICE signs, the group marched along Milk and Congress streets before reaching Waterfront Plaza. Protesters then dumped “clean ice,” per guidance from MassDEP and Boston Conservation Commission, into the harbor next to the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum.
